Venice - Remo Brindisi (1950) (Francesco Cristina House Museum)
His first solo exhibition dates back to 1940 in Florence: the catalog for the show was written by Eugenio Montale.[3] Subsequently he held solo exhibitions in Paris, Nice, Milan, Venice, Rome, Cairo and São Paulo. However, he remained tied to his Abruzzo where, in 1960, he was invited to the 11th edition of the Avezzano Prize – National Exhibition of Figurative Arts in Avezzano, alongside Stefano Cavallo, Gisberto Ceracchini, Vincenzo Ciardo, Eliano Fantuzzi, Carlo Levi, Giovanni Omiccioli, Michele Rosa, Joseph Franz Strachota, Francesco Trombadori, Antonio Vangelli and others.[4]
He served as President of the Milan Triennale and was awarded the Gold Medal of Public Instruction of the Republic for cultural merits. He participated, especially between the 1940s and 1950s, in several editions of the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadriennale.
Famous also for figures, faces and landscapes: the "Venezies", the "Opponents", the "Pasture families" (Pastorelli), the "Maternities" are among his most recurring themes[5]. He painted works with social and political subjects, among which stands out the cycle Storia del Fascismo (1957-62). He created the symbols carried in procession on Good Friday in L’Aquila.
In the art collections of the Fondazione Cariplo there are four of his paintings: Tre profili, Profili, Venezia and another Venezia. A large collection of his paintings is housed at the National Museum of Abruzzo in L’Aquila. Another Brindisi art collection is exhibited at MAMeC - Museo d’arte moderna e contemporanea di Penne. In Lido di Spina the Remo Brindisi Museum recalls his work and the exchanges the master had with artists of his era.
